The scene throughout the UK is electric with excitement for the next few months of Metal 2 The Masses heats, semis and finals. Every region represented in the UK will have a grand final winning band that will go on to play the New Blood stage at Bloodstock Festival.

The bands performing Coventry’s first ever heat are a testament to the diversity of the Midlands metal scene:

Kirikai are a punk infused grunge outfit that have been a regular on the Coventry scene for a number of years.

Abandoned Life, relative newcomers to the local scene are a death doom band from Leamington Spa.

Pelugion are a Coventry three-piece with heavy Sabbath influenced groove.

With everything to gain and nothing to lose, these four bands, plus all the rest of the competing bands will be giving everything they have to secure not only the main prize of playing the UK’s number one metal festival, Bloodstock Open Air, but also a whole host of other great prizes and offers.

These prizes include recording and merch discounts, a host of guaranteed gigs, a photoshoot, studio recording time, PR and booking agent representation to name but a few.
